[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 28449, member: 1550"] Has he been diagnosed with autism? It sounds like he has by the interventions. If so, is he in "at risk" treatments? My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and he started therapies before age three. They didn't have ABA back then, but he was in speech (he's 13 now and talks great). Has he ever seen a developmental pediatrician? I would start there. Doesn't sound like the Neurologist or therapist know what your little guy is all about. MY son used to tantrum over everything, even banging his head against the wall and screaming. He was fueled by things that were not always clear. At age three they have early intervention preschools through the school district and if he has gloabal development delalys, which is often a first diagnosis before the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) one (my son had this diagnosis.--cognitive delay not otherwise specified), then he should probably start special education to address his issues. People on this board are very familiar with your son's behaviors, so don't let these two people make you think he's one of a kind. He's not. Also, do you have any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? Anybody with "quirks" who is a loner and maybe very bright? Any known autism in the family? I would take this child to a developmental pediatrician to start out the diagnostic process. CD is basically for people over 18. I doubt he has CD and you probably won't get that diagnosis from a Psychiatrist (with the MD) or a neuropsychologist.
